New Zealand – The Rolling Stones are heading your way!
Ladies and Gentleman they are back! The Rolling Stones are ready to make their long awaited return to New Zealand. Following the sell-out European leg of the 14 ON FIRE tour, the most eagerly anticipated concert in years takes to the road for one big show in New Zealand at Auckland’s Mt Smart Stadium on 22 November.
The Rolling Stones 14 ON FIRE continues the exhilarating celebration of the band’s five decades, with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood bringing their iconic music and ground-breaking stage shows to audiences around the globe. Mick Taylor, former guitarist with the band from 1969-1974, will be a special guest.
14 ON FIRE hit Europe this summer travelling to sell-out venues and festivals across the continent on the tour. Critics praised The Rolling Stones shows as the “concert of a lifetime.”
Special guests have also been confirmed as rock group Hunters & Collectors.

What if? Dunedin... 
Remember all those breathless articles in the ODT … someone’s doctor went to Otago once, or something, and that might mean the Stones will come here in gratitude (that same someone who confused Dunedin and Invercargill as being the armpit of the universe)
But, Gee, they are close. Like about 1200km away .
Just a happy return flight away!
Just a flight away. Trouble is once you leave town and see what’s over the hill some don’t want to come back.
Grass is greener anywhere else. It even has jobs. And expensive housing.
Mt Smart is for Tennis. In the eighties, we were told that ‘Girls just wanna have Fin’, ie an end to masculinist Stadium Rock. No-one mentions Bananarama or Melissa Etheridge any more!

The Rolling Stones – Miss You – Live 1997
The Rolling Stones performing ‘Miss You’ in St Louis, MO, on the 1997 leg of the Bridges To Babylon tour.
‘Miss You’ was originally a single from the 1978 album Some Girls, and was composed by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and produced by the Glimmer Twins. This version features Mick Jagger on lead vocals and electric guitar, Keith Richards on electric guitar, Charlie Watts on drums, Ronnie Wood on electric guitar, Darryl Jones on bass guitar, Chuck Leavell on keyboards, Lisa Fischer, Bernard Fowler and Blondie Chaplin on backing vocals and Bobby Keys on saxophone.
Miss You
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
I’ve been holding out so long
I’ve been sleeping all alone
Lord I miss you
I’ve been hanging on the phone
I’ve been sleeping all alone
I want to kiss you
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
Well, I’ve been haunted in my sleep
You’ve been starring in my dreams
Lord I miss you
I’ve been waiting in the hall
Been waiting on your call
When the phone rings
It’s just some friends of mine that say,
“Hey, what’s the matter man?
We’re gonna come around at twelve
With some Puerto Rican girls that are just dyin’ to meet you.
We’re gonna bring a case of wine
Hey, let’s go mess and fool around
You know, like we used to”
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah
Oh everybody waits so long
Oh baby why you wait so long
Won’t you come on! Come on!
I’ve been walking in Central Park
Singing after dark
People think I’m crazy
I’ve been stumbling on my feet
Shuffling through the street
Asking people, “What’s the matter with you boy?”
Sometimes I want to say to myself
Sometimes I say
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
I won’t miss you child
I guess I’m lying to myself
It’s just you and no one else
Lord I won’t miss you child
You’ve been blotting out my mind
Fooling on my time
No, I won’t miss you, baby, yeah
Lord, I miss you child
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah
Lord, I miss you child
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah

Opinion | Dazed and Confused
The girls were way ahead of me in form 2
By Roy Colbert
Long-time Rolling Stones saxophonist Bobby Keys died at the start of this month after battling a suitably debilitating rock’n’roll disease, cirrhosis of the liver. If rock’n’roll anecdotes are to be believed, and it would be a very dull world if they weren’t. Keys first met the Stones in 1964, when, sequestered in a hotel room on one of what would be many more hundreds of rock tours, he heard an outrageous string of profanities in the hallway outside his door. It was Mick Jagger, loudly delivering the F-word in his London School of Economics voice, using the word, as school children do today, as a noun, verb, preposition and adjective. “I had never heard anyone use that word like that in public before,” Keys recalled in a later interview. “I decided I had to meet this guy, and spend time with him.”

I do have to say that whoever wrote the lyrics to some of these songs probably has speaking as a yet to be acquired talent. Nonetheless, the fact that the Rolling Stones are not appearing at the Foobar is not surprising.
God, its long ago, but when I was a mere kid, the choice was really between the wholesome Beatles and the pretty wild Stones. Intriguing after all these years that the Beatles are nearly all either dead or look like it, and the totally unhealthy Stones are still going. Ah…..or should I say aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah?
Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah

After all that, Terry, darling, I’m not sure The Rolling Stones would be welcome, ever.
Nonsense Elizabeth, ANYONE would be welcome, about whom there could be puff-blicity about how much money was flowing into Dunedin (even if a hell of a lot flowed out first, to bribe them to come here). And Mick is too astute a businessman to avoid a venue for religious reasons. Because the sound system is shite by his standards, because getting their gear here would be a logistical problem solvable only by divine intervention, sure. Because the Stones haven’t been so successful for so long by making dumb decisions – that too. But for “spiritual” reasons, nah. The Beatles went spiritual. Lennon developed a view of himself as deeply meaningful. The Stones knew what they were about, they were rockers. And they still are.
Bless!

The Rolling Stones – Far Away Eyes – OFFICIAL PROMO
The official promo video for the Rolling Stones’ 1978 single “Far Away Eyes”. The song reached number one on the US Billboard chart and number 3 in the UK. The track features on the 1978 album Some Girls, and was composed by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, and produced by the Glimmer Twins. The song features Mick Jagger on lead vocals, Keith Richards on guitar, piano and background vocals, Charlie Watts on drums, Ronnie Wood on guitar and backing vocals, and Bill Wyman on bass guitar. The video was directed by filmmaker Michael Lindsay-Hogg, who directed several promo videos for the band, including “Start Me Up”, “Jumping Jack Flash” and “Fool To Cry”. Lindsay-Hogg also directed promos for the Beatles and the Who.
I was drivin’ home early Sunday morning
Through Bakersfield,
Listening to gospel music on the coloured radio station,
And the preacher said: “You know you always have the lord by your side”
And I was so pleased to be informed of this
That I ran twenty red lights in his honour,
Thank you Jesus, thank you lord
I had an arrangement to met a girl, and I was kind of late
And I thought by the time I got there she’d be off,
She’d be off with the nearest truck driver she could find
Much to my surprise there she was sittin’ in a corner
Little bleary, worse for wear and tear
Was a girl with far away eyes
Well I tell you
So if you’re down on you’re luck, and you can’t harmonize
Find a girl with far away eyes
And if you’re downright disgusted
And life ain’t worth a dime
Get a girl with far away eyes
Well

Behind the scenes of the Rolling Stones juggernaut video
By Michelle Duff
The finishing touches are taking place at Mt Smart Stadium as the stage is set for The Rolling Stones. If Keith Richards breaks a guitar on stage tomorrow night, it’s no cause for alarm – there’s 74 more where that came from. In a behind-the-scenes tour of Mt Smart Stadium in Auckland today, it was revealed the Rolling Stones carry no less than 75 guitars with them across continents. Tomorrow night’s show, the last on the Stones 50th anniversary calendar, is an epic undertaking. Two Boeing 747’s worth of gear – including the stage, lighting rigs, pyrotechnic equipment, and countless speakers – winged their way across to New Zealand for the concert.

Tonight at Ch39, ODT’s Barry Stewart outlined an announcement tomorrow that a major act is coming to Fubar next year. Will it be geriatric (not a definition that applies to the Rolling Stones in their performance!) or is Lorde’s BFF Swift coming to grace the appalling acoustic properties.
Just one. Like that will pay the +$20million annual losses currently/foreseeably being absorbed by Dunedin and Otago ratepayers and renters.
The announcement that I wish was true (since this is the plague upon What if? this week) is that Terence has been offered a better job on the Australian subcontinent….
I wonder if Terry’s wife has moved from Adelaide yet. That might help to answer any questions as to his longevity here.
“DIAMOND for DUNEDIN!!” When? October 24th. Brilliant! that gives me nearly a year to save up $80 or $350. Better still, it is estimated that $7million was expected to be pumped into the city’s economy. “Cringe cringe” there we go again, the begging mentality. Great news for Mr Davies and his connection with ‘Dainty Promotions’. It will be a popular event no doubt. But it can hardly be described as being part of a flood of activity for the stadium. DVML is celebrating the ‘coup’ of securing such a
“massive name” for the city. The only thing he is very ‘coy’ about is what amount directly flows into DVML’s coffers. That of course would be ‘commercially sensitive’. We’ll just have to wait for the annual report 30th June 2016.
If they are able to estimate $7million being pumped into the city’s economy, they must know where this $7 million will land. Why not have a targeted rate, then only those that profit from this $7 million can contributed towards the stadium’s debt repayment? As it appears to have been built for them to profit from.
Whippet, I was speaking to someone yesterday who suggests Dunedin needs a bed tax, similar to the one being proposed at Queenstown!!

Visitor levy mooted as fundraiser
By Tracey Roxburgh
A bed tax is back on the agenda for Queenstown, driven by the resort’s Chamber of Commerce. At its annual meeting on Tuesday night, chamber chief executive Ann Lockhart said the board was ”part-way” into lobbying the Government to allow a “visitor levy” to be applied in the area.

Good point, Whippet. “If they are able to estimate $7million being pumped into the city’s economy, they must know where this $7 million will land.” If they can’t produce the details of how they arrived at this sum they’re simply picking a number and hoping it passes scrutiny.
When I was at school we didn’t get a pass for the answer to a maths problem if we hadn’t set out the the steps of our calculations. The teacher needed to know we understood the procedure, otherwise the “right answer” could have been a fluke, or whispered by a classmate.
As a stakeholder – ratepayer – I know what the teacher meant.
Currently I have no reason to believe any of the rah-rah about $millions flowing into Dunedin. The only people who profited from the Fubar Stadium aren’t around, these days. I and the people I know aren’t winners from this influx of riches. We’re poorer because we’re forever, through rates and increased charges, paying for the ill-begotten Fubar Stadium plus its rah-rah merchants and the subsidies with which they procure the odd fragment to shout rah-rah about.
Enough with selling us the sizzle, we bought that before and we’ve got the debt to prove it. Now it’s time to produce the steak. If you can’t do that it’s going to look as if all you’ve got is a recording of sizzle and an aerosol of Odor’O’Barbecue.
Tragic. Hardly the highlight of anyone’s concert-going career.

What can I say. Last night, a lot of dress leather jackets on well-kept middle-aged and older couples (from Central Otago and the South) hit McDonald’s for coffee and a bite after the concert.
More on Monday at ODT.
Never liked his music.
Oh God. This Neil Diamond Concert is a wake up call. A reminder how us baby boomers are past it. I must stop listening to Joni Mitchell et al and get some advice on something more contemporary.
Never thought we could be so tragic. Saw the video online of ND and felt washed up. Must listen to some Leonard Cohen.
Commiserations Peter. Just hit YouTube Music for 2014-15 and drill down. Costs less than a consultant :D
ND would have better suited the Town Hall or Regent. Or a Californian-style beer hall somewhere that we don’t have.

Jessie J, Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj – Bang Bang ft. Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj
A bit too much woman power for TD ??!!??
Wikipedia: “Bang Bang” is a song recorded by British singer Jessie J, American singer Ariana Grande, and Trinidadian rapper Nicki Minaj. The song was released on 29 July 2014 by Lava and Republic Records as the lead single from Jessie J’s third studio album Sweet Talker (2014). It is also included on the deluxe version of Ariana Grande’s second studio album My Everything (2014), serving as the third single from that album. As of August 2015, “Bang Bang” has been certified quintuple platinum by the RIAA.
“Bang Bang” became a commercial success, debuting at number one in the United Kingdom and reaching the top ten of record charts of numerous countries including Canada, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand and the United States. It was also favourably reviewed by music critics, who praised the song’s composition.
The song’s accompanying video was shot over two days in Los Angeles, California and was directed by Hannah Lux Davis. The video was officially previewed and teased in a Beats by Dr. Dre commercial that aired on August 20, 2014. Following the ad’s airing, it was announced that the music video would arrive shortly after the trio’s performance at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards. On August 24, 2014 the official video was uploaded on MTV’s website and was available for international viewing. On August 25, 2014, the video was released via Jessie J’s VEVO account.
Songwriting – Max Martin, Savan Kotecha, Rickard Goransson, Onika Maraj.
An early post on stadium form and function at this website, written by then site owner Paul Le Comte.
5.3.07 (post)modern?
Decorous, positive, I really quite like it — scripted well before Dunedin’s stadium took its current hayshed form. Paul chances on so much wasted opportunity for a city that could never afford the stadium or the acts. He’s absolutely right about architecture and design.
We’d heard ticket sales were slow and not reaching the 20,000 hoped for. Old acts lessen the chance of a full stadium. Doh. Fleetwood Mac might fill the seats but what of (choke) Black Sabbath ?
Even ODT sent out the aging Mackenzie to report Saturday night’s adventure. Did Nick Smith help sponsor the concert ? Good for him if so. I dare say Dunedin ratepayers have underwritten the loss, who else.
